A. Term paper
Write a term paper on a topic, which is relevant to this course. Some possible topics are listed below, but you are free to choose another subject that relates the physics discussed in class and that sparks your interest. You need to submit an outline of your paper, with a list of references by February 23rd. The paper should be 6-8 pages long (double spaced, font size 12) plus pages with figures and references. You must use at least one reference that is neither the textbook nor an online source; a journal article found online is fine but must be referenced to make it clear that it is a journal article. The paper is due at the time of the final exam. I only accept papers of people that have submitted the outline. No late work will be accepted for the outline and the paper submission. If you do not meet the page designation or your paper is judged not to adequately present the physics of your topic, you will only get partial credit, most likely less than three points.
Examples of topics for the term paper:
Electric signals from the body- heart, head, muscles
The electrocardiogram (EKG)
Transmitting electric power to homes and businesses
Nobel Prize winners in physics and their research
Circuit design
Solid state physics
The transistor
If you have an idea for an alternative to the term paper, such as writing physics based computer game, designing a physics demo, or creating an electronics project that exemplifies a physics concept, please feel free to bring this up with me.
